STRANGE CRITTERS
This cute little guy or girl was crossing an Arizona desert road,
this is an average sized tarantula spider in the wild. If you aren't familiar
with the local critters this gentle giant may frighten you. My point is that
every area has its unique dangers.
There are bears in the Carolinas, ticks with
limes disease in the east, West Nile Virus mosquitoes most everywhere,
poisonous snakes and poisonous spiders.
As I traveled through the country and camped on
the ground this always worried me. I chose to error on the side of caution and
sleep in my tent. There are big creatures that could eat through my little tent but
the little things were safely outside.
A little research, common sense, and
questioning the locals usually covers things enough to sleep comfortably. I
also don't search for bugs, snakes, or rodents, live and let live is my
philosophy.
I fear is being swarmed by bees, I had some bad
experiences in my youth. However that was after I threw an apple through their hive.
